In the secret place...
"Hey Sora!" "What, Riku?" Young Sora asked impatiently. "Maybe we're older, we can find a way to get off the islands." Young Riku stated. "Maybe. But first, let's go meet the new girl." Sora said, walking out of the cave.
Riku followed him and then, stopped. He spun around and saw a keyhole on the mysterious wooden door. He began to walk toward it and somehow it opened.
Riku woke up and saw Alex talking Jafar, who had two princesses, which were both under a sleeping spell. "The one with black hair's Jasmine. The blonde's Cinderella. That's what I've heard from Maleficent." Jafar snorted. "You got two birds with one stone. That will save Maleficent some trouble." She muttered. "Now, what do we do?" Riku asked, fully awake.
'I have a really bad feeling this now.' Alex thought, taking the princesses to the castle. In the Grand hall, she spotted Maleficent with Hook and Hades, who turned and saw her. "Well, what do you know? Alexia's back with two princesses while Jafar and Riku are going after the others." Hades said, appeared behind her, "Are you playing delivery girl today?" She didn't answer.
Hook took the princesses and put them into capsules that Maleficent created for them. Alex fell to her knees, panting. "They're so heavy." "No, they're not." Hook protested. "Then, try carrying them while jumping through Rising Falls." Alex panted. She was so out of breath. "That sounds tiring." Ursula said. "Who's the next one?" Riku asked, showing up with Jafar.
"The princess named Ariel from Atlantica." Maleficent replied. "I believe she's in Ursula's world. There is another. Her name is Belle." Alex turned to leave and had her wand in hand. Then, it disappeared and reappeared in Maleficent's hand. "Aren't you getting fed up by using his wand all the time?" Hades asked. "Maybe." Alex replied emotionless. The wand dematerialized and a bow appeared with a quiver of arrows. "Use my gift well." She had a voice say.
'This is no ordinary gift. That's for sure.' Alex thought as she left to find the next princess. Riku said nothing as he followed to the portal. The next thing they knew they were in countryside, near a village. "OK. Belle's gotta close by." Riku stated. "Alex, you stay here and I'll..." "I hate it when you call the shots." She whined. Riku rolled his eyes. "Huh? What's going on over there?"
A man stood outside a cottage with so many people and a woman seemed to be defending her father. "No, my father isn't crazy!" She screamed. "Belle, if you only marry me, I promise he will not go." The man said. "No way, Gaston! I won't marry you!" Belle screamed.
"Belle! Belle! Help me!" Her father yelled. "Please!" "Louise, tell us again what you saw at the castle." The people demanded. "I saw a beast. He was about seven, no, eight feet tall!" Louise said. "Take him away." Gaston ordered.
"BELLE!!!" Louise yelled. Belle rushed into the cottage and came out with a mirror. "My father isn't crazy! There's the proof!" She held the mirror up. "Show me the beast!" An image appeared of the beast. (I'm not going to describe him because he's in KH. So, you should know how he looks like.) All the woman became frightened. "He will take our children and eat them."
"This is boring. That beast is harmless when he's around Belle." Alex said as she put an arrow on her bow. "Who are you aiming at?" Riku asked. "Which one's the jerk of all the men there?" Alex was getting ready to shot the arrow. "Gaston."
Finally, she let go of the string and the arrow flew. No one there noticed that it was flying toward Gaston. He yelled in pain when it pierced through his heart. Then, he fell and died. "Lucky shot." Riku snorted. Then, the heartless appeared everywhere. Everyone began to run for their lives. Belle got on her horse and rode back to the Beast's castle.
"There goes Belle! Come on!" Alex and Riku ran through another portal and got into the Beast's castle. "Beast! Beast!" They heard Belle's voice from one of the hallways. "Riku, get Belle! Now!" Alex screamed. "I'll take care of the Beast!" Riku dashed and found Belle on the floor, lifeless. "The heartless did this." He put her on his back and ran.
He went back for Alex, but she wasn't there. So, he went back to Hollow Bastion. Little did he know, she was in the West Wing of the castle. "You're not supposed to be here!" Beast yelled. She slashed at her with his claws and made a small cut on her arm. Alex shot an arrow at him, but he dodged and made a bigger cut on her other arm.
"Stupefy!" A red beam stunned him, making him collapse. "I thought this would be tough, fighting you." Alex said, pointing an arrow at his heart. "But, it didn't seem like a challenge." "What are going to do with Belle?" Beast demanded. "Why should I tell you?" Alex's fingertips were ready to let go of the string once again. "Do you want to die fast or slowly?"
"I would want to see Belle before I die." The spell wore off and he punched her. She screamed, but no one heard her. "You're too late. Belle's not in this world anymore." Alex said, using her cold tone. "What?!" Beast sounded furious. "Where is she?! Tell me, little girl!!!" He tightened his grip on her neck. "Where is she?!" Alex didn't answer. She struggled to get out of his grip, but couldn't. 'Help me, Riku. Please help.' "I'm asking you one last time. WHERE IS SHE?!" Still she didn't answer. "Very well." Beast slashed out his claws at her.
Cliffhanger.
